TRD (The Real Deal) is Cleveland based, still in business last I checked. I think the owner is of Mexican heritage, but I think he's also part native American.
Natal, Natel were apparently in Massachusetts. I don't know when they ceased operations, or why the two spellings of their name, or if...
Fits you great. Near perfect. The leather looks like new so it's surprising to see a hole worn in the lining. But it doesn't look like a problem at all. It's high point wear. Japanese sellers usually under-represent the condition of what they sell (I've gotten used jackets advertised as B or C...
I like it. It's a cool jacket. If you like how it fits, wear it
Where the leather is fully broken in, it's going to be amazing. Give it a few years for maximum effect.
Lol, I do sometimes put on a jacket just to put some time on it. Helps to break it in. And makes me feel like the thousands of dollars I've spent on them are going to good use. It is a bit ridiculous, but no one's around to know it, so who cares. I hear some guys like to wear ladies...

If the feedback does make it back to the maker, they might fix the issue for the...
Yikes. I have had good experiences with the stuff I've bought from Bronson, but I don't have any N-1 jacket from them or anyone.
I have to think if this started immediately after you washed it that that must have something to do with it, but it shouldn't. I can't imagine what it would be...
I owned two model F's. I really liked the first one, it was brown comp weight, old, nice and heavy, but borderline worn out, so I sold it after I had it for a few years. Then got a great deal on a used but in brand new condition one in black comp weight leather, but despite it being the same...
